why this guy beg trump to attack iran then?

Pretty much all arab leadership want "peace" with Israel. The issue is the Arab street/people absolutely do not want to with varying degrees.

IMO this depends more on economy than relations. If gulf oil is seen as too risky, or restricted by Iran after this, then that would gradually release the USA's interest in the gulf, as Washington pivots towards greater energy independence and oil integration with LATAM. However, Israel will always swing the American MIC towards war with ME countries (probably Turkiye and/or Syria next after Lebanon and Iran today)

Leave no traces 🤭

I was referring to the Emirates as a whole, but thanks for the correction. I always forget Dubai is not the capital.

First, I'm new to actively using lemmy, so I'm gradually learning the etiquette on here, and how it differs from other forums. Also, I did not know the downvote button is disabled on your instance, so thank you for the context.

It feels a bit too reddit-like to have open trolls commenting in our communities, but constantly being down voted to the bottom of threads

Sure, if they are actual trolls, and we can define that together in this thread or as a community. However, this user was an active commenter in several news/palestine-related communities, and lets just be honest, was not trolling or derailing the discussion. He disagreed with the OP (and to an extent I share a similar view) that Judaism and American Jews have deep sympathies to Israel, and this manifests in material structures in the United States (synagogues, community orgs, PACs, etc)

OKAY PAUSE

if that last statement is ban worthy because its trolling or "anti-semitism" , how the hell are we supposed to actually have this debate? Then this isn't trolling and this is where active discussion and voting should take place in the thread. Keep in mind, the person who flung accusations was the mod of the community when he said " You're not an anti-semite are you?"

Thats why I think this is blatant mod abuse because there seems to be this unnecessary over-moderation and that's exhibited by the guy continuing the convo in this thread which is unrelated to the community. Overall this fractures discussion across the entire website, not just the individual instance.

Last, you're going to have to prove the commenter has a repeated history of posting out-of-topic or bait. Not just a singular instance of a disagreement in perspective, and calling out a mod for a flimsy argument using his own rhetoric.

There haven't been nearly as many internal Mossad operations in Iran since those protests early in the year. Iran has been surprisingly secure since. Perhaps this internal Mossad network has been crippled severely at this point.

Can't see because of the paywall:

Is this 20 million undocumented/internationals exclusively or does this include activists/dissidents?

We need to add Dubai to the boycott list.

Its blatantly obvious they are both funding the genocide in Sudan and co-signing the genocide in Palestine. Its a shame the fall of El-Fashir did not lead to greater outrage in the West, like it has for Gaza. These conversations are taking place within activist circles, however at least in the USA, were not doing enough.

imo I think most people aren't connecting the dots between the UAE's crucial role in supporting the genocidal Zionist state.

You mean 48 during the Nakba?

FYI 1967 was when Israel occupied the West Bank during the Naksa.

I associate the words "oppression" and "repression" with actions performed by states or non-government authorities.

I'm not going to continue this discussion, since its off-topic.
